A) Identifying factors that place the client at risk
B) Resolving health issues through independent nursing measures
C) Reporting trends that suggest development of complications
D) Managing an emerging problem with the help of the registered nurse
C
Feedback:
The nurse should report trends that suggest development of complications to bring to notice the need for collaborative intervention for a client. Collaborative problems are physiologic complications that require both nurse- and physician-prescribed interventions. Identifying factors that place the client at risk, resolving health issues through independent nursing measures, and managing an emerging problem with the help of the registered nurse are nursing roles performed during a nursing diagnosis.
